Savanna Institute Field Day Photos
At the Savanna Institute, our mission is to share education and research about agroforestry with the community so that farmers and landowners have the tools they need to integrate tree crops on their land. Each summer we host a series of field days around the Midwest at demonstration farms including those run by the Savanna Institute.
When it comes to agroforestry, seeing is believing. The more opportunities we can extend to the community to learn about the benefits of planting tree crops, the more acres we can convert to agroforestry and the greater potential we have to improve water quality, sequester carbon, and restore biodiversity to the oak savanna native to the region.
Check out some of our photos from recent events to see how we are bringing together a community of people who practice perennial agriculture.
Join us at an upcoming Field Day
